"Why Can't We Speak Tagalog?" The Problematic Status of Multilingualism in the International School.
Ochs, Terry
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v14 n6 p447-62 1993
This paper explores the nature of multilingualism in an English-language international school environment through observations and interviews with students of Yamato College in Japan. It examines the institutional conflicts that result when pupil-generated multiculturalism is constrained within an ideologically narrow educational framework. (41 references) (MDM)
